We found the Dyson stand in our local Currys store and were instantly attracted to the DC07 Animal. The salesman was very helpfull knew all his stuff and before we knew it we were standing at the checkout buying it.
Price then £249.00
Price Now £179.00
The unit comes with a 2 year dyson warranty, when I bought mine I extended the warranty to 5 years for an extra £39
The Dyson animal is a variation of the dco7 model

The dyson comes with instructions, warranty card, accessory leaflet and three additional attachments, a crevice tool, a soft brush tool and stair tool all of which store handily on the hoover body.
The dyson was speedily unpacked when we got it home, it was easy to assemble and get up and running. we took it upstairs and did the bedroom carpets first, the power in this machine was awesome, you could see the carpet lifting everytime ...

...an original Dyson. The original Dyson eventually broke after a year and a half. I went to my local Vac Centre who advised me that it would be cheaper to buy a new one rather than fix it.
The man who owns the Vac Centre is very nice and he knew I had dogs and recommended I buy the Animal DC07. I am so glad I took his advice.

This Dyson has a bin instead of a bag which is wonderful, whenever it gets full you just detached from the machine by pressing a button, walk to the nearest bin, pull the lever and the bottom opens up to release the waste. Close the bottom lid with your hand, walk back to the machine and click back into place. Features

Advantages: extra tools,hepa filter Disadvantages: heavy, like all Dysons.
When I bought my Dyson DC07 upright vacuum cleaner earlier this year it was to replace my Dyson DC07 full gear. There was no problem with my 2 year old Dyson, just my mam wanted it! I went to my local Currys store and was told that Dyson now offer a 5 year parts and labour warrenty instead of the old two year one, also that Currys can cover them for accidental damage for £1 a month direct debit. For a pound a month for a £180 cleaner I was very impressed!! ... ...this was because my new Dyson was preassembled at the factory. So as I added the tools to the handy holders pointed out in the manual I decided this was much better than assembling them myself as it is necessary to do with the vast majority of vacuums (Vax been one of the worst culprits.) This machine has a HEPA filter to stop all the nasty bacteria in their track (great if you have allergies and asthma, I do) and a handy tool for the stairs and ...

Advantages: strong constant suction, good with hair Disadvantages: wand not as flexible as could be
This is my second dyson (I had cylinder dc02 clear for 9 years) as I am very impressed with the quality especially the suction.
This unit does not need any new parts during its lifetime. The filter can be washed rather than having to buy to new filters to replace - this saves approx £20 every 6 months.
So I've upgraded mine to this DC07 animal - bought used. The suction is super - I have long brown hair which inevitably ends up on the floor when ... ...am impressed as my previous dyson was not as efficient.
The floor cleaner part does have a big head and can be difficult to get into small corners but if you line up the head close to a wall, it will still suck dust and dirt out of the corner even though the brush will not get to the wall. I am having an extension to the house currently and you would not believe the amount of dust generated. This unit deals with it no problem and the floor actually ...

Advantages: Excellent Suction, perfect for busy households, customer service nearly excellent! Disadvantages: Expected the machine to last longer than four years, given the high purchase price!
I purchased my Dyson DC07 Animal about four years ago, it was purchased to replace an original DC01 which I was really pleased with, so pleased that when I damaged the machine (I fell down the stairs with it) I replaced it with the DC07. My DC07 cost approximately £350.
Initially, I was just as pleased with the DC07, it did everything it said it would. However, after only a few months things started to go wrong:
Split tubes (both stretchy tubes ... ...pleas from very early ownership Dyson would not replace the machine.
The warranty eventually ran out but the problems stayed. The motor was replaced early last year, free of charge (as a gesture of good will), but alas after only six months there are more issues - it just won't pick up. I've removed and cleaned all the removable and cleanable parts but still no joy. The machine is now being sold and I have purchased another brand of vacuum cleaner.

Quick review of Dyson DC 07 Animal Purple&silver
My Dyson is two years old. DC 07 (Animal Model Silver and purple)
I would have to say there are more disadvantages than not. The tools, fall off easily, the beater brush rolls everything up in it and must be disassembled and the hair and threads cut and pulled from the bristles about every third time I vaccume.
It has rolled up so many things and been cleaned out so many times, I am now having trouble getting the beater bar to stay engaged.
Would I pay $500.00 plus for this machine again? NOPE. ...

Advantages: Powerful cleaning when new, excellent customer service, bagless Disadvantages: Incredibly unreliable, loses suction, very heavy, difficult to clean brush-bar
...for this. Fortunately Dyson have always given me excellent customer service. The staff on the phone line (which is open at weekends and events) are very knowledgeable and will go through the problem over the phone to find the solution. They provide a free warranty of about 2 years and were happy to send various replacements parts when I needed them, all free of charge. However, the good customer service was not enough to make up for their awful product. ... ...not consider buying a Dyson again as it is badly made and hides behind a load of pointless patents that make it sound cutting edge. I read Which? magazine and have since discovered that Dyson are notoriously unreliable, so I don't think I am alone in having had these problems. I continue to struggle with this vacuum cleaner but am now outside of the warranty period and anticipate that it will be unusable within the next year. This was supposed to ...

Advantages: Picks up animal hair, thoroughly cleans carpet Disadvantages: Not very high from the ground, won't go under furniture
I was given my Dyson Animal as a gift and was amazed from the beginning at how much hair and dirt it sucks from the carpet! However, the advertising hook of 'it never loses suction' is not quite true! It does lose suction frequently and needs replacement filters. Having said that, mine reached the stage where it wouldn't run for longer than a minute before overheating and turning itself off and I looked to get rid of it before someone suggested I ... ...an engineer came to the house the next day, stripped it down, replaced the motor, hose, pickup brush, belts, the cyclone bit (which he said had been upgraded) and all the filters before slapping a 12-month warranty sticker on it. The only thing they don't replace are the little tools, but it was a very impressive follow up service. It's just a shame it needed it! ...

Advantages: Picks up everything including animal hair Disadvantages: Tools keep falling off
...been vacuumed so everything the Dyson picked up would have been left by the other cleaner. With the transparent cylinder you can see exactly what you have picked up.
The basic operation is as simple as any other, turn it on and off you go. The hose is a cleverly stored with the handle stowed inside so it is not in the way and is also right where it needs to be if you want it. It just unclips and from out of nowhere you have a generous length of ... ...is a minor downside that I have found with this; the tools (3 of, I don't know what they are called) clip onto the top of the cylinder where they are stowed but are not very secure so they keep falling off. There is another device which is like a miniature brush/roller that fits on the end of the hose. It's great for cleaning sofas with.
The carry handle is in a convenient place which makes it easy to move around. The cylinder is easy to unclip ...

...construction. and has the Dyson "root" cyclone technology which according to Mr Dyson, provides an additional 45% more suck for you money...Nice!
My wife is a self-employed cleaning contractor,so we decided to purchase this model as it appears to be a good "all-rounder," with the additional pet hair removal power. We also felt that the brand was trusted for quality and reliability.... and it comes with the Dyson two year warranty.
The Device arrives ... ...multi-turbo head Brush tool.
The Dyson is a bagless cleaner which is easy to empty and replace (just place above your dustbin and pull a tab to release the dust) The cleaner has a lifetime HEPA filter, which traps dust and micro-particles. I am told that this is advantageous for asthma sufferers.
The cleaner has a built-in hose and wand for cleaning the stairs and is long enough for the Dyson to remain at the foot of the stairs... But beware, the ...

...when you first use a dyson you are amazed at the amount of dirt the thing sucks off your floor. I was under the impression my carpets were in reletivly clean condition, untill i ran the new animal over them.
We all know Dysons can suck better than the rest, But are they worth the cash?
